It has a really mellow coffee like roast. This and blackprinz are hands down the best malt you will find from briess.

Keith, How many bags of this did you end up with from NHC? I had 5-6, but my cats ate a couple bags...

oh, and I used this to adjust the color (more red) to my first flanders red. I put 1 bag (bout 1.5 oz) in 2 cups of water, cold steeped for about an hour (same as mash) and then strained and added about 1/2 to 2/3 into the wort at the beginning of a boil. It was right on the color I was shooting for.

I have a lb so I'm gonna ask, how much for a nice red colour? I haven't used it yet but I bought it cause I wanted to make a red wheat beer (there's a type of wheat called hard red winter wheat so I thought it would be a neat play on words to make a spiced "hard red winter wheat" (I work with too many farmers).

Just wondering how many ounces would make a nice red colour in a 5 gal batch.Thanks

as a very generic answer Id say 4-6 oz will get you the color you want.

+1 I used it in my Black IPA last month and really enjoyed the results. I did a 50:50 split between midnight wheat and carafa special II for the roast character. By the way, the only reason I used the midnight wheat is because I got a free sample of it. But like I said, I enjoyed the results.

Thanks for the info guys! They had a decent looking recipe for a black IPA using Midnight Wheat on the Briess website so I may give that a try. I have 2#'s so I can probably use it in a couple recipes. The red wheat sounds like a good idea.
